PRINTERS GALLEY AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLING PRINTERS MATERIAL.

Application filed `uIy I8,

To all whom t may concern.'

Be itknown that I, EDMUND PAUL EHR- LINGEP., a citizen of the United States, and resident of Janesville, in the county of Rock and State of lVisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsv in Printers Galleys and Methods of Assembling Printers Material; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and eXact description thereof.

This invention relates to printers galleys and to a method of assembling printers material.

Tn preparing print-ing material, it is cus tomary to arrange the type in suitable columns in a chase or form and to leave a space for the insertion of advertising. As is well known, the time for assembling the material is extremely limited and it is, therefore, imperative to have everything in readiness for the reception of the advertisement. For this reason, therefore, the complete type columns are assembled with a. space left for the advertisement awaiting` the reception thereof. `When the assembly for the advertising is received in the usual printers galley, it is customary to take it out piece by piece and insert it within the space left in the partially filled chase. This takes a. material lengtl of time and complicates the work of the compositor.

This invention is designed to overcome the above noted defects and objects of such invention are to provide a method of assembling printing material which permits the placing of the entire insertion bodily within the spa-ce left for it without requiring the separate picking out and repositioning of the parts of the insertion.

Further objects are to provide a compound printers galley which is so constructed that the insertion vmay be assembled therein and may be bodily and simultaneously slipped into position in the space left for it in the partially assembled chase or form, which is so constructed that the printer may assemble Ythe material ink the galley in the usual manner, and in which all danger of disarranging the assembled material is avoided.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a view of the compound galley showing the printing material assembled for advertisement.

1923. Serial No. '$52,238.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional on the line 2-2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 shows the assembled printing material as it is being inserted in the space left in the chase.

The compound galley comprises an outer galley consisting of a bottom 1, sides 2 and an end 3. The opposite end of the galley is left open and it will be seen, therefore, that this outer galley forms in effect a channel with one end open. Within this outer galley an inner galley is slidably positioned and consists of a bottom 4t, an end 5 and a rearwardly projecting lip 6. It is devoid of sides and is normally positioned within the outer galley, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, with the lin 6 positioned over and beyont the end 3 of the outer galley. This inner galley is made of any suitable width corresponding to the desired number of columns forthe advertising and is of such length as to accommodate the length of the advertisement or other insertion. Ordinarily the outer galley is made of standard length although, obviously, it may be made of a length to suit Vthe particular conditions, and is made in different widths to accommodate the desired number of columns.

In practising this invention, the columns 7 of type (see Figure 3) are assembled within a chase 8 and are held in position by side sticks 9 and foot sticks 10 in the usual manner. The space 11 for the insertion, which in the form shown is an advertisement, as indicatedat 12 in all of the figures, is provided by forming certain of the columns of type such as indicated at 13 shorter than the remaining column 7 to thus provide a rectangular space for the reception of the insertion.

/Vhen it is desired to position the insert 12, the compound galley is positioned adjacent the chase 8 and the inner galley is slid outwardly therefrom and into the space 11 forthe insertion. Thereafter the insertion 12 is slid off of the bottom t of the inner galley (as shown in Figure 3) and into posit-ion.

It will, therefore, be seen that the assembling of the inserted portion within the partially filled chase is an extremely simple operation and requires a very small amount of time.

It will further be seen that this invention View' avoids disarranging the composed insertion and assures its final positioning Within the chase in its original integrity.

Althoughone` form of the invention has been described inVv considerable detail, it is to be understood that the invention may be variously embodied and is, therefore, to be limited only as Claimed.

Ikolaiin:

l. A compound printers galley comprising an outer galley having a bottom, an end and sides, and an inner galley having a bottom and an end, said inner galley being normally slidably mounted Within said outer galley.

2. A Compound printers galley comprising an outer galley having a bottoni, an end and sides, and an inner galley having `a bottom and an end, said inner galley being normally positioned Within said outer galley with their bottoms and ends Contacting, said inner galley having a lip proj eoting outwardly from its end and vnormally extending over and beyond the end of the outer galley.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand at Janesville, in the county of Rook and State of VVisoonsin.

EDMUND PAUL EHRLINGER.
